Hello Werner,
if this is the only bug filed about this stuff then I would consider
removing lilysong etc. Probably nobody cares about it, because
‘lilysong’ command doesn’t work due to various Python 3 and other
problems. And Festival itself is abandonware, although still present in
some GNU/Linux distributions, due to lack of better speech synthesis
alternatives.
Under such circumstances, especially the status of Festival, I think
trying to fix the problems and adding documentation would be waste of
resources. Does anybody think otherwise?
(The primary purpose of lilysong was to allow blind user to easily check
for misaligned score and lyrics.)
Regards,
Milan
